Volcanic wine FTW. Gorgeous, layered scents of grapefruit pith, jackfruit and wet pavement give way to electrifying citrus pith, yellow herbs, and a deep crushed-stone minerality that has a beautiful saline edge to it. Made from 70+ year-old Listsn Blanco vines grown high up (1100m) the sides of the Tenerife volcano. 2018 Envinate “Benje” Blanco, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

Fresh as a daisy and utterly compelling. 2011 Domaine de Collier Saumur Blanc, Loire Valley, France.

There are times when I feel like I have opened bottles of this wine too you g, and times when I feel like I have waited too long. But on this day, Summa was singing a beautiful song. Gorgeous acidity, deep raspberry and sour cherry fruit shot through with a dusting of dried sage and other herbs, and a lovely dried flower and citrus bite that lingered for a long time. Fantastic. 2014 Rivers Marie “Summa Vineyard” Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, CA
